To all whom it may concern:

Be it hown that l, Jasrnn W. KAGER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Butte, in the county of Silver Bow and State of Montana, have invented a new and improved Radiator Holder, of which the following is a description.

My invention relatesto means for holding a radiator in the manufacture or the repair of the same, and has for its general object to provide a holding means for the indicated purpose, so constructed and arranged that the radiator may beted in its own plane or rocked vertically, whereby to dispose the radiator in various'angular positions to make all points theii rey accessible.

The nature of the invention and its distinctive features and advantages will clearly appear as the description proceeds Reference is to be had to the mpanying drawings forg a part of in: itication, it being undesl Mm that the dwings are merely illustrative of one example of the invention.

a a 1 is a mrspective view of a radiator holder embodying an invention, showin a radiator clped erein;

igure 2 is a detail in transverse vertical section as indicated by the line 2-2 Figure 1;

3 is a cross section tugh the annular e and In te m 5 out my invention in r ance with the illustrated exple, a stand is provided, adapted to receive a standa 11 having a head 12 to which a stirrup-like yoke 13 is secured, there being employed for the pin in the illustrated example a nut 14L on the reduced threaded upper end 15 of the standard and stud bolts 16 or the e. lthe upper ends of the arms of yo 13am formed with bea 17 to receive the nions 18'on an ular frame 19 permitt i said e to rock in a vertical plane, set screws 20 be provided in said to hold the Nations 18 against turning in ghwmr the; aar position. Snugly annular e 19 is a turnable ring 21 which is held against aw went in the frame 19 by cli s 22 see by rivets 23 to said ring.

Ho in: means for the radiator is pro- :2. a INNER HQLD ml 19 in within the vided'wi nt the ring '21. A. series of angle brackets 24, three of which are employed in the present instance, are suitably secured as by rivets 25 to said ring 21, one arm of each angle bracket being directed laterally inward and formed with longitudinal slots 26 through which threaded shanks 27 of clamps 28-extend. The shanks 27 have washers 29 and nuts 30, preferably wing nuts thereon, at the'under side of the brackets 24. The upper ends of the clamps 28 are directed laterally and terate in clp heads 31 adapted to be disposed over a ator 31 or swung away from the radiator. The radiator A is adapted to be raised on the brackets 2d and with the clamp heads 31 turned over the radiator, the screg up of the nuts will y clamp the radiator to the brackets. With the described arrangement the standard 11 is raised the desired height in the stand 10 and fastened by the set screw 10 provided on said stand. The radiator having n clamped in position, the ring 21 ma be l w turned to the'right or left W5 ht the ular e 19 thereby turnthe radiator A in its 0 plane. Also, the flame 19 with the ring 21 and the radiator may be rocked on the tons 18 and then fastened in any given position, if desired, by the set screws 20. Thus, all parts of the radiator may be readily reached for perfog any necessary operations thereon.

The. slots 26 permit the radial adjustment,

of the clamps 28 to accommodate radiators of difierent siaes.

ll would state in conclusion that while the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of my invention, I do not it myself strictly to theexact details herein illustrated, since, manifestly, the so can be considerably varied without departure home the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, ll

1. A holder of the class described including a stand, a vertically adjustable standard thereon, a stirrupdike yoke carried by said dard and presenting bea at its upper end. an annular-frame having trunnions in said hearings to adapt the frame to rock vertically, a ringtubly fitting Within said frame, means to hold said ring against displacement in the frame, and

2. A holder of the class described including a rockably supported annular frame, a

ring revolubly supported in said frame, and clamp means disposed on said ring at the interior at different points around the rin 3. A holder of the class described inclu ing a rockably supported annular frame, a ring revolubly sup orted in said frame, brackets on said rame presenting arms formed with slots and disposed radially with respect to the ring, and clamp shanks adjustable in said slots and formed with laterally disposed clamping heads, said brackets being adapted to receive a piece of work, and

said clamps being adapted to hold the work on the brackets.

4. .A holder of the class described, com prising a stand, a substantially U-shaped member mounted on said stand and turnable on a vertical axis thereon, and a ring to clam a work mounted on said U-shaped mem r, said ring being rockable on said member on a horizontal axis.

v 5. A holder of the class described, comprising, a stand, a rod telescoping within said stand, means for holding said rod at various positions therein, a U-shaped member turnably carried on said rod, an annular frame rockably carried on said U-shaped member, a ring provided with clamping means adapted to receive a radiator'supported on said frame, and means for interlooking said ring to said annular member.
